Morton, foreman, members of the Person Grand Jury on Tuesday filed a report in which they found conditions at the Court House, the County Home, the Prison camp and schools and other public places generally satisfactory, only exceptions relate to the condition of one school bus and the alleged in sanity of one of the inmates of the County Home. School bus referred to, in the language of tile report is No. 14 (Roxboro high school) “with very insufficient brakes". Recommenda tion is that tile bus be taken off the road until brakes are properly re paired or adjusted.

Reported as still somewhat low are the War Fund campaign figures here, where only $2,987.32 has been raised out of a quota of $10,050. Special gifts stand at $1,760; busi ness district, $474.78; woman’s divis ion. $379.40; white schools at $255.60 and industrial division, $117.54. So licitors are urged to complete and report contributions as soon as pos sible. Some solicitors have been quoted as saying that a number of recently returned from overseas Person ser vice men have been perhaps unin tentionally hurting the United War Fund cause by some of their re marks, the said remarks being based chiefly on the fact that they, the talkers, happened to miss out on or failed to appreciate USO services. It is believed however that such com ptainers are in a minority. 2 Fatal Highway ~ Accidents IN PERSON COUNTY IN IMI DON’T HELP INCREASI ITI DRIVE CAREFULLY NUMBER 92 Aubrey Johnson.
